Foy Vance — "Guiding Light"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO50jHl2LLY

Well the road is wide,
And waters run on either side,
And my shadow went with fading light,
Stretching out towards the night.

'Cause the Sun is low,
And I yet have still so far to go,
My lonely heart is beating so,
Tired of the wonder.

But there's a sign ahead,
Though I think it's the same one again,
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
And so I find my way home.

When I need to get home
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/foy-vance-guiding-light-lyrics.html ]
Well the air is cold,
And yonder lies my sleeping soul,
By the branches broke like bones,
This weakened tree no longer holds.

But the night is still,
And I have not yet lost my will,
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till,
'Till I find my way home.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

Noah and the Whale - "Hold My Hand As I'm Lowered"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUWHJJJkwuQ

Hold my hand as I'm lowered
And please don't see me as a coward
For death, I do not forsake thee
Though your dark stare is always upon me

Well, I fell in love with a world in you
Well, I fell in love with a world in you

O Death, do not feel like the victor
'Cause my poor life makes you none the richer
Oh, your cold hands are clutching at cloth
I leave nothing on Earth that won't rot

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
Well, I fell in love with the world in you

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel cold

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel holier

Laura Marling - "Blackberry Stone"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoRNfpvWhwQ&feature=kp

Well I, own this field
And I wrote this sky
And I have no reason, to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand that the world does what it does

And you never did learn to let the little things go.
And you never did learn to let me be.
And you never did learn to let little people grow.
And you never did learn how to see.

But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever
To your soul as it floats out off the window
To the world that you turned your back on,
To the world that never really let you be,

And I am Laura now, and Laura still,
And you did always say that one day I would suffer.
You did always say that people get their pay.
You did always say that I was going places,
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me.
But I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like I needed.

Hmmm Hmmm Mmmm

But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me.
Then I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like I needed.
And I shouldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.

The Undertones - "Teenage Kicks"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAtUw6lxcis

A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright

A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright

PhD - "I Won't Let You Down"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5prT2qiiWY

You ask me if I'm happy here
no doubt about it.
You ask me if my love is clear
want me to shout it.
Gave you the best years of my life
woman.
I know I failed to treat you right
woman.
Don't let me out of here
don't let me out of here.
I won't let you down
won't let you down again.
I won't let you down
won't let you down again.
I won't let you down
won't let you down again. . . .
You say our love is running one way
coming from your side.
No help from me to see it through to beat the high tide.
Take me and chain me if you please
woman
Don't help me dig deeper my grave
woman

Don't let me out of here
don't let me out of here.
I won't let you down
won't let you down again. . . .
I won't let you down
won't let you down again. . . .
I won't let you down
won't let you down again. . . .

Isley Brothers - "This Old Heart Of Mine"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd8Xz-Qx5oI

Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

Maybe it's my mistake
To show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
You've got me never knowing if I'm coming or going but I

I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you
I love you, yes I do

These old arms of mine
Miss having you around
Makes these tears inside
Start falling down

Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I

I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you
I love you, yes I do, yes I do

Ooh, I try hard to hide, my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treating me, leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week now

But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I

I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you
I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you

I love you
This is old heart, darling is weak for you

Bob Dylan - "Jokerman"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XSvsFgvWr0

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with truth so far off, what good will it do.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care ? Ain't nobody there would want marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
